I was expecting a bumper or Hi-Lift jack to be used.

Isn't America great...the post didn't break off.

The guy used simple physics. I'm sure a more refined device that uses the same principles could be built out of junk but he just grabbed what he had(no pun) to get the job done. ?(?)?

I'm guessing that wouldn't work if the post was set in concrete?
I don't know, it made short work of the tap root on the willow. I
had dug down and cut off quite a bit of the radials - when I hit it
with thw little vauxhall it jumped out of the ground on about the
third hit. The root ball was about 2 feet across and over 2 feet deep
- mabee 200 lbs?. A good friend of mine had a cedar hedge to remove -
his son-in-law had cut the hedge to abour 2 feet from the ground - the
trunks were about 4 inches - he used the same trick but with a Chevy
Silverado - he said they just popped out of the ground. He was using a
transport truck rim.


Sounds like a lot of work!
A lot less work than digging the suckers out!!!
